Christmas 2011
(Acrylic on Gessoed Masonite secured together with hinges, 2024)
This is a painting of one of the first photos I ever took on my Aqua Blue Nintendo 3DS. I just got it for Christmas and I guess I was very excited and took a picture of myself with the front facing camera. The portrait is encapsulated in the painted 3DS, complete with the touch screen Nintendo 3DS Camera menu. I wish I could go back to being a kid in my old childhood bedroom, but unfortunately humans have not invented the time machine yet. But, I still have this memory saved in my head, and in the SD card of my 3DS.
